With a shake of his hand, the rich earth energy in the room completely dissipated.
Jianchou raised his head and immediately saw the panicked little ghost. He asked in surprise, "What happened?"
The little-headed ghost had rushed back all the way and was now panting heavily.
He didn't forget to close the door when he entered.
There aren't many people in the village right now, and probably no one would come to see their shabby house, but the little ghost is still very cautious.
After entering the house, he quickly caught his breath and said, "Judge Cui wants to find you and kill you!"
Kill her?!
At that moment, Jianchou looked up in surprise, somewhat unable to believe what he heard.
It was a suddenly bright look, projected from the originally gentle eyes, like the light of a knife pouring out from a box, extremely cold.
The little-headed ghost just watched and shivered with fear.
He originally thought that Jianchou was very friendly, but he had never seen such bright eyes in her eyes. For a moment, he thought she was about to draw her sword.
Fortunately, this look was only a fleeting one.
Jianchou didn't seem to be conscious of it, but frowned, stood up from the ground, patted his hands, and asked after thinking for a moment: "What's the reason?"
During this moment of silence, the little-headed ghost had calmed down a little.
He thought about it and told the story as concisely as possible, leaving out everything from the owner of the ghost axe to Cui Jue's plan.
After hearing this, Jianchou finally frowned.
It was just as the little ghost said when he came in: something big happened.
The Ghost Axe once killed tens of thousands of ghosts in the Extreme Domain. It should be normal for ghost cultivators in the Extreme Domain who have some knowledge to know the Ghost Axe.
In this situation, a ghost axe suddenly broke through the boundary and broke into the extreme domain, and it was still in the state of recognizing its master. King Qin Guang also found out through some means that the owner of the ghost axe was not far away from the ghost axe...
If Jianchou was one of the eight top figures in Jiyu, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
Looking for her, for the Guifu, is probably only one of the reasons, the real reason is the hidden danger behind it.
Who knows which guy came in with the ghost axe
What if it’s the next war between Yin and Yang
The only thing that Jianchou was thankful for now was the "suppression" caused by the different rules of the Extreme Domain, which had her spiritual power and consciousness sealed.
Cui Jue said that once she could contact Gui Fu, he would be able to follow the clues based on this spiritual consciousness.
It seems that it will be difficult to get the Ghost Axe back.
The Grand Judge Cui Jue possesses the cultivation of a golden body, which is equivalent to the out-of-body stage in the Nineteen Continents.
In the Extreme Realm, he switched from cultivating his soul to cultivating his physical body. In the Nineteenth Continent, he switched from cultivating his body to cultivating his mind, and he might experience the tribulation of self-examination.
Such a powerful cultivation is two levels higher than Jianchou who is in the Jindan stage.
She couldn't even defeat Jianchou in the past, so how could she fight against him when she was so stretched today
She was afraid that if they were really discovered, not only would she and her Yashan disciples not be able to escape, but they would also definitely drag down the Big-Headed Ghost and the Small-Headed Ghost.
He couldn't help but tap his temple with his fingers, trying to make himself more rational and calm.
The little-headed ghost was also worried when he saw this.
They didn't have much time to spend together, but recently the two brothers' cultivation level had increased thanks to Jianchou, and even the elixirs were given by Jianchou.
Now, whether for his own benefit or to repay a favor, the little-headed ghost has no way of staying out of it.
He stared at Jianchou for a long time and asked cautiously, "What should we do now?"
The use of "we" was very clever, and Jianchou couldn't help laughing.
However, the severity of the situation is obvious.
"If I remember correctly, you said that although the Jieyin Division is far away from us, the Ghost Gate is not far from here. If Cui Jue goes to the Ghost Gate to investigate, and we don't have a good hiding method, I'm afraid we will be in trouble soon."
The little ghost frowned and nodded: "Either leave here or hide my identity as a living person."
"That's right. I have now practiced the skills of the Extreme Realm. Ordinary people may not be suspicious of me when they see me, but if I am seen by those people from the Eight Directions Hell Palace, I am afraid I will be exposed immediately. It can be said that it is difficult for me to go out alone. So there is only one way left, to conceal my identity."
Jianchou’s analysis is very rational.
However, the most critical link is here, and it is also the most difficult one.
How can I conceal my identity
It would be easy to just die and become a ghost.
It can be seen that sorrow cannot be caused.
She still has to go back to Nineteen Continents and Yashan. God knows what will happen after she becomes a ghost.
Shaking his head, he drove this unreliable idea out of his mind. Jianchou turned around and asked the little ghost, "The powerful cultivators in the Nineteenth Continent can easily hide their cultivation from being spied on, and they even have magical instruments to conceal their whereabouts. I wonder if the Jiyu Territory has the same?"
"this… "
The little-headed ghost frowned and thought.
"I'm a poor guy, and I don't usually buy things. However, the nearest trading city to us is Shanhai City, in the Wrongful Death City on the outer layer of the underworld. Maybe I can help you take a look. And there is an old guy in the Wrongful Death City, called 'Fairy in the Mist'."
"kindness?"
Jianchou immediately became interested.
She had a feeling that perhaps what she needed had arrived.
"What about this person?"
"He has a shop that can do anything, but the prerequisite is that you can afford the price. Many people say that his cultivation is not lower than that of the Yanjun in Bafang City, so no one bothers to provoke him..."
The little-headed ghost thought about it, and there was a strange fear in his voice.
"He is a real celebrity in Wrongful Death City. At the beginning, a Lord of Hell wanted to deal with a certain judge, but he didn't expect that the judge had escaped to Wrongful Death City and even asked the Fairy in the Mist for help. In the end, Lord of Hell was helpless and returned empty-handed. It was not until a few years later that the judge thought he was safe and had left Wrongful Death City by himself that he killed him."
Since that time, everyone has worshipped this mysterious "fairy in the fog" as a god.
Just like the last word "Xian" in his title, it carries a color that makes people yearn for it.
After the little-headed ghost said this, Jianchou finally understood.
This kind of person is somewhat similar to Zhilin Sou, the difference is that Zhilin Sou's ability may not be as great as this "Fairy in the Mist".
I think the Polar Region is like the Nineteen Continents, there must be a lot of people in need of help, right
After thinking for a while, Jianchou suddenly asked again, "I remember you just said that Judge Chu gave you a new task?"
"That's true."
The little-headed ghost was slightly stunned, not understanding what Jianchou meant.
"We were given the task of receiving new ghosts in the City of the Dead. We were supposed to help Lao Zhang by registering the new ghosts and sending them to the City of the Dead. This has to do with... Wait, you!"
Before he could finish his words, the little-headed ghost was completely stunned and almost bit off his tongue out of shock!
He stared at Jianchou in horror, as if he was staring at a monster.
"Do you want me to...?"
Well, stuttered gorgeously.
Jianchou actually hadn't made up his mind yet. After all, this was not something he could handle alone.
But the little-headed ghost was really smart. After she asked a question, he had already vaguely guessed her intention.
"You guessed right. I really want you to help me forge a new ghost registration in Wrongful Death City so that we can sneak into Wrongful Death City directly."
Since he had already guessed it, Jianchou didn't hesitate any longer.
Before the little ghost could answer, she continued, "You told me about Bafang City before. Bafang City is like eight Yama Kings. The whole underworld is under their rule, but they are entangled in the City of Wrongful Death. This is where geniuses are born, and it is also the source of almost all the best ghost cultivators in the entire Extreme Domain. No Yama King is willing to give up this piece of fat meat, but at the same time, no Yama King has the strength to rule here."
"right… "
His voice was weak, as if he was about to faint any moment.
When the little ghost heard this, he felt very disappointed.
Jianchou explained it so clearly, so it must be that she was not just thinking about it casually, she really wanted to carry out this crazy plan.
"Each Lord of Hell's power is excluded by the others, and the City of the Dead is a system in itself. The 'Fairy in the Mist' you mentioned before should be one of them."
Jianchou walked to the table, slowly folded up the page of paper he had put down before, and pressed it neatly.
"As long as we can sneak into the City of the Dead, we can seek help from the Fairy in the Mist or we can play among the various forces. We may not lose."
Isn’t the City of the Dead in the Extreme Realm the starry sea of tomorrow in the Nineteen Continents
The difference is that anyone can enter the Sea of Tomorrow's Stars, but only the ghosts who "died against the will of heaven" can enter the City of the Dead.
"So, the final problem falls on me?"
The little-headed ghost also came over and sat down like a staggering old man, holding the corner of the table and covering his chest.
"Great Master Jianchou, do you have the heart to let me forge a new ghost's naturalization? I'll be dead if I'm discovered! Old Zhang is such a shrewd bastard, what if he's discovered?"
"You and Datou were the ones who guided the new ghosts, registered them, and sent the new ghosts to the City of the Dead. No matter how powerful that old Zhang you mentioned was, he only looked at the list you handed over and didn't touch the ones below. How could he know that you were cheating?"
Jianchou chuckled.
The emperor who is high above is always deceived; the powerful people in the temple are always unaware of the sufferings of the people.
The little-headed ghost was able to bribe Judge Chu to become a ghost official. How good could the ghost officials below him be
It can be said that what she said makes sense.
Although the little-headed ghost knew that Zhang Tang was not actually a stupid person, he really didn't want to get involved in these things!
Although Jianchou's plan is crazy, if you calculate it carefully, the possibility of its realization is quite high.
Especially...
Now the three of them are actually all on the same boat, so who can stay out of it? If they help Jianchou, there might still be a glimmer of hope. If they don't help, there will really be only one way out, which is death.
Try to save the situation!
The little ghost carefully sorted out the interests involved, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Okay. I can do this, but there is another problem that needs to be solved: From here to the Wrongly Dead City, it is at least sixty or seventy miles. How can we guarantee that we will not be discovered along the way?"
"Didn't you say that when others see me, they will probably think I'm a ghost cultivator at the Golden Body level? Only those with high cultivation or those who know the inside story will suspect me."
There was a gleam of wisdom in Jianchou's eyes, and he seemed calm and composed.
"The news came from the Palace of Prince Qin Guang, so other people may not know it. With a limited number of people, the chances of us being discovered are also reduced. At times like this, we just need to choose to walk at night..."
"yes!"
When the little-headed ghost heard this, his mind finally came to its senses. But in the blink of an eye, when he looked at Jianchou's eyes, it was more like he was looking at a pervert.
How come they were able to think through so many twists and turns in such a short period of time, sort out so many interests, and find the best solution they could find at the moment? How come they are a bit "too smart to be a demon"
The little ghost couldn't help but shake his head to get rid of these unreliable thoughts.
He summed it up himself: "In other words, we must disguise you as a new ghost of Wrongful Death City and send you into the city before Cui Jue finds us, and then go find the Fairy in the Mist. If the Fairy in the Mist can solve the problem, that would be great. If not, we can only fight hard."
Jianchou nodded: "Not bad."
"So when will it start?"
I'm in a hurry and can't wait any longer.
The little-headed ghost looked at her, waiting for her answer.
Jianchou turned his head to look at the sky outside. It was still dim, but it was not even close to noon.
The little ghost came back specially to tell me the news...
She thought for a moment and said, "It's better to act sooner rather than later. If you delay any longer, you might just run into Cui Jue's knife. It's better for you to go back now and act accordingly."
"Hey, great minds think alike. That's my plan, too."
The little-headed ghost clapped his hands and couldn't help licking his lips.
His palms were actually shaking a little, and his whole body felt trembling. No matter when he was a gangster on the isolated island on earth, or when he wasted decades in the underworld, he had never experienced this feeling before.
An excitement of doing something big, something really, really big.
This is not just about forging naturalization, this is about fighting against the entire underworld!
Dry!
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
The little ghost suddenly felt a little angry, clenched his fists, and said to Jianchou, "I didn't tell anyone when I came out before, and now it's not long, it's a good time to go back, and it won't arouse suspicion. I will forge the naturalization list today, and write your name alone. Before you practiced, you were called Jianchou, right?"
"yes."
only…
Jianchou frowned slightly: "To forge naturalization, I have to use my real name?"
"Yes." The little ghost explained, "When new ghosts are introduced into the City of the Dead, there is no one to verify, but there is a 'mirror'. If the name on the ghost list of the City of the Dead does not match the soul, the person cannot enter the City of the Dead."
I see.
Although Jianchou felt that it was a bit strange to use her natal name, there were so many people with the same name and surname in the world. It didn't make sense for her to be so unlucky as to meet someone who knew her. Even if she did, he would just think she was dead.
So, after thinking for a while, Jianchou nodded and said, "Then I will wait for good news here."
"Just wait and see!"
The little-headed ghost chuckled.
Before he decided to do it, he was timid and cowardly like a coward; once he decided to do it, he was more excited than anyone else and seemed eager to try it.
Who hasn't wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary
There's just no chance.
Jianchou watched the little-headed ghost say goodbye to him, pushed open the door, and disappeared into the distance.
She still held the folded page in her hand.
He was originally trying to see if he could directly form a soul bead, no matter how small it was. Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the little-headed ghost before he could complete the experiment.
Now the little-headed ghosts have returned to the Reception Bureau to carry out their cruel plan.
From this moment on, until dark when they can set out, it will take at least four hours.
"In four hours, I can do a lot..."
His eyes flashed slightly, and Jianchou finally gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged again.
Her mind calmed down and she entered into a state of cultivation again.
On the other side, the little-headed ghost returned very quickly along the original route.
The discussion with Jianchou didn't take much time in total. When he came back, others just thought he was gone for a little too long and didn't think anything else of it.
It was the big-headed ghost who was sitting alone next to the long eucalyptus, counting on his fingers, seeming to be extremely bored.
He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the shadow coming over there. He immediately put down his finger and called out, "Little head?"
"Just got back, just got back."
The little-headed ghost seemed very calm. He looked to the side and saw that Zhang Tang was not there, as if he had not arrived yet. That was just right.
The big-headed ghost pointed to a book on the table and said, "This is the new ghost book of Wrongful Death City that the ghost messenger just brought over. He said we are in charge of it."
“So soon?”
It's like a pillow is given to someone when he's sleepy. The little ghost is worried that he can't find an opportunity.
He quickly put away the booklet that was lying flat on the ground, and began to observe his surroundings as if nothing had happened.
By noon, Zhang Tang had not returned yet, so the small-headed ghost took the opportunity to drag the big-headed ghost out and secretly told him about his and Jianchou's plan.
Of course the big-headed ghost was frightened by the two men, but since they were already on board the pirate ship, he had no way to object. He remained calm for a long time before he could notice anything unusual.
After discussing the steps before and after, the two of them made a special trip to the gates of hell. When they came back, the little ghost added a few words to the list of new ghosts in the city of the dead, and wrote two crooked words -
See sorrow.
It is said that the birth and death years of new ghosts should be checked against the Book of Life and Death and recorded in the ghost register. But of course, this is not necessary for the small-headed ghost.
He simply wrote down her birth and death years according to what Jianchou said.
Although Zhang Tang was in charge of the City of Wrongful Death, he did not have the Book of Life and Death, so it would be difficult to check and it would be impossible to find anything.
During this period of time, the two of them got along very well with Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang would never have thought that the two of them would cheat him, especially in such a place where it seemed that there was no room for error.
You know, the City of the Dead has been peaceful for a long time.
No one ever deliberately wants to enter the City of the Dead, because there is no special benefit, especially for new ghosts.
So generally speaking, no one would doubt it at all.
All this increased the little-headed ghost's confidence.
He returned to the Reception Bureau from the gates of hell, carrying the list of new ghosts from the City of the Dead.
Standing outside the hall from a distance, the little-headed ghost had already seen Zhang Tang.
I don’t know what he talked about with Judge Chu and Judge Cui. They talked for such a long time and they only came back at this time.
He was holding a booklet in his hand and was reading it carefully.
The dark black robe draped over him, coupled with his stern features, gave him a bit of the air of a harsh and cruel official.
The slender fingers had been stained with the blood of countless people, but now they were pressed cleanly on the paper, moving slowly.
Tsk.
It looks so stylish just by looking at it.
Official style!
The little ghost has gotten used to it because he has to sigh like this every time he sees Zhang Tang.
He could never learn this posture.
Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, the little-headed ghost walked in from outside.
Many people rolled their eyes at him along the way: It was obvious that someone already knew about the incident in Guan's City of the Dead.
The little-headed ghost didn't care. He snorted, pretended to be complacent, and walked over with a swagger.
At this time, Zhang Tang was still reading.
The little-headed ghost walked over and saw that it was a list of old ghosts who had been naturalized in the City of the Dead.
People who "die against the will of heaven" usually do not live the full lifespan arranged by heaven, so they have to spend some time in the City of the Dead before deciding whether to reincarnate.
Some people directly become ghost cultivators, while others choose to reincarnate.
The booklet that Zhang Tang was reading could calculate how long it would take for the ghosts in the City of the Dead to be reincarnated.
For the little-headed ghost, everything would be fine as long as Zhang Tang was not looking at the Book of Life and Death.
He smiled and came over, looking very happy to see Zhang Tang, and his voice was almost the same as usual: "Hey, Lao Zhang, you are finally back. Today, I have the backlight, so I can go take care of the ghosts in the City of the Dead! You see, I just went to the gates of hell, and there happened to be a new ghost to be sent to the City of the Dead—"
Zhang Tang raised his head, looking dull.
A booklet was handed to him by the little-headed ghost.
In the past few days, the little ghost's cultivation has been constantly improving, and he has even become more proactive in doing things. He is no longer Mr. Bai Zi, which is a good thing.
Thinking this way, Zhang Tang didn't care much and casually opened the list. Zhang Tang raised his head, looking dull.
